"Little Star" is a song by Madonna from her seventh studio album Ray of Light. It was released as a promotional single.

Background[]

In this song, Madonna speaks on how happy and jovial the birth of her daughter, and her daughter herself, made her. The "little star" Madonna references is her eldest daughter Lourdes, who goes by Lola. Lola was a young child at the time of the song's release.

Composition[]

Just like the previous song, "To Have and Not to Hold", the song is superficially vibrant but with underlying subtlety and restrained arrangements prevailing.

Lyrics[]

Never forget who you are, little star
Never forget how to dream, butterfly

God gave a present to me
Made of flesh and bones
My life, my soul
You make my spirit whole

Never forget who you are, little star
Shining brighter than all the stars in the sky
Never forget how to dream, butterfly
Never forget where you come from, from love

You are a treasure to me
You are my star
You breathe new life
Into my broken heart

Never forget who you are, little star
Never forget how to dream, butterfly

May angels protect you
And sadness forget you, little star
There's no reason to weep
Lay your head down to sleep, little star

May goodness surround you
My love I have found you
Little star, shining bright

You breathe new life
Into my broken heart

Never forget who you are, little star
Shining brighter than all the stars in the sky
Never forget how to dream, butterfly
Flying higher than all the birds in the sky

Never forget who you are, little star
Never forget where you come from, from love

Little star
Little star
Little star
From love
